需要一个专业认可机制来鼓励加快出版足够数量的“适合使用的”生物多样性数据。作为这种识别机制的一个组成部分，我们建议开发数据使用指数（Data Usage Index， DUI），以向数据发布者展示他们创建生物多样性数据集的努力通过被广泛的用户社区访问和使用而产生影响。我们提出并给出了基于搜索事件和数据集下载实例的14个绝对和标准化生物多样性数据集使用指标的示例，用于开发基于搜索事件和数据集下载实例的DUI。建议DUI包括相对指标和物种剖面加权比较指标。我们相信，除了对数据发布者和参与数据生命周期的所有参与者的认可之外，DUI还将为用户如何使用主要生物多样性数据提供急需的新颖见解。由从GBIF网络和其他相关接入点获得的一系列使用指标组成的DUI是可以达到的。生物多样性数据集的使用导致了一系列指标的发展，这些指标与众所周知的基于引用的识别测量相一致。
A professional recognition mechanism is required to encourage expedited publishing of an adequate volume of 'fit-for-use' biodiversity data. As a component of such a recognition mechanism, we propose the development of the Data Usage Index (DUI) to demonstrate to data publishers that their efforts of creating biodiversity datasets have impact by being accessed and used by a wide spectrum of user communities. We propose and give examples of a range of 14 absolute and normalized biodiversity dataset usage indicators for the development of a DUI based on search events and dataset download instances. The DUI is proposed to include relative as well as species profile weighted comparative indicators. We believe that in addition to the recognition to the data publisher and all players involved in the data life cycle, a DUI will also provide much needed yet novel insight into how users use primary biodiversity data. A DUI consisting of a range of usage indicators obtained from the GBIF network and other relevant access points is within reach. The usage of biodiversity datasets leads to the development of a family of indicators in line with well known citation-based measurements of recognition.
